Onokpasa, who was a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in 2023, passed away under yet-to-be-disclosed circumstances. He served on the APC’s Publicity Committee.

He gained national attention for his political commentary and staunch support for President Bola Tinubu, often appearing on TV to defend the administration.

However, in a recent turn, Onokpasa publicly declared that he would no longer support Tinubu in the 2027 elections. He had cited worsening insecurity, economic hardship, and what he described as the President’s disregard for loyal party supporters.
